Land Drain for a House in Wokingham
When we were working on the sewage treatment plant in Wokingham we were approached by one of the client's neighbours who had a problem with land drainage. There was a soakaway to drain storm and surface water. The soakaway wasn't working because the ground was mostly clay with very poor drainage. We were asked if we could help. Of course we could!
We had to dig a land drain to take the storm water from the gutters and drain it into a ditch beyond the garden. We dug a 120 metre long channel (which fell by a metre between the house and the ditch at the back) and put a perforated pipe into this channel. The perforations allowed storm water to drain into the pipe throughout the garden (the lawn used to become waterlogged in winter because of the poor drainage). We put shingle and Tyran cloth (to let water but not soil through) over the pipe in the channel before replacing the turf and topsoil.
The client was delighted with the work and gave us a testimonial.
The drainage channel was 120 metres from the house to the ditch and passed through a small wood as well as through the garden lawn. We had to dig the channel by hand as even our smallest digger wouldn't fit between the close trees in the wood.
The picture on the left shows the plastic drainage piping. Note the perforations that allow surface water to drain into the pipe (preventing the garden from becoming waterlogged). The picture on the right shows the Tyran cloth which goes over the pipe (which is surrounded by shingle) and lets water through but prevents soil from getting into the perforations.

This week, as we celebrate National Pro Bono Week, we are reminded of the growing demand for legal services for the poor.
Since 2009, the American Bar Association, through its Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service, has celebrated this week-long observance as an opportunity for legal services programs nationwide to recognize providers of pro bono services, raise awareness of the increasing need for pro bono services during these challenging economic times, and encourage pro bono service.
Legal Services of Greater Miami, as the largest provider of free civil legal services for the poor in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties, is proud to partake in this year's celebration from Oct. 24 through Oct. 29. Legal Services extends legal assistance to more than 30,0000 individuals every year, a feat that would be impossible without the help of our pro bono volunteers, who work tirelessly to ensure some of our community's most vulnerable residents have equal access to our civil justice system.
For many, this translates to having roofs over their heads, food on their tables, and access to healthcare. Last year, more than 2,000 hours of pro bono services were dedicated to Legal Services clients via individual case work or volunteers at our monthly small claims and family law clinics.
This year, thanks to the generous support of Sabadell Bank, Legal Services will host a reception on Oct. 27 in appreciation of our volunteers.
But even with the help of pro bono volunteers, it is impossible to meet the growing demand for legal services.
Currently, Legal Services attorneys in Florida are only able to meet, at most, 20 percent of the needs of indigent civil litigants. For every one client served by a federally-funded legal aid program, another one seeking help is turned away. Those who are turned away are some of the most vulnerable members of our community, including our elderly, veterans, and disabled.
Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said: "We are bound by a responsibility to use our unique skills and training . . . to help our nation fulfill its founding promise of equal justice under law . . . the obligation of pro bono service must become part of the DNA of both the legal profession and of every lawyer."
As part of this celebration, we invite our entire community to elevate their pro bono and public service efforts. Please visit www.legalservicesmiami.org to learn more about Legal Services and how you can join us in providing a voice for our community's most vulnerable residents.
Jocelyn Armand is Senior Attorney at Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc.

How To Simulate Leading Edge De-icer Boots
By Jeff Jensen
Here's a technique that'll help you simulate leading edge de-icer boots on your airplanes. I found that black shrink wrap tubing is perfect for these boors. It's soft, pliable, easy to cut, has that rubber look and texture to it, and can be secured in place with super glue. Try and use the smallest diameter of tubing possible due to the fact that the larger the tubing is, the thicker it'll be. The thin wall material will be more in-scale.
Cut a slit in the tubing and spread it out flat. Now take some heavy object (like a big book) and lay it on top of the cut tubing to flatten it out and remove most of the curl. Once this curl is taken out, trim the tubing to the size you will need; try and trim as closely as possible to the size you want. Test fit the tubing to the wing to see that you're getting the size and shape you need. When you're satisfied with the fit, then glue the piece to the leading edge. A WORD OF CAUTION: use the super glue sparingly. The tubing is non-absorbant; that means the glue will spread around a lot.
When fitting the tubing in place, try and work your way from the top aft edge of the boot to the bottom aft edge. Use your X-acto knife handle like a rolling pin to smooth out the boot. If you need to trim the boot: don't worry, be happy. The cut should be at the edge of the boot and hence the cut line should blend right in. I think that once you see the results you'll agree that it's the only way go when doin' de-icer boots.

Rising Franc Puts Spotlight on Swiss Central Bank
Swiss Currency at Strongest Level Against Euro in 20 Months
The Swiss franc is on a tear, threatening for the first time in almost two years a cap introduced by the Swiss National Bank SNBN -0.98% in 2011.
The currency, widely seen as a safe haven when investors are avoiding risk, is trading at its strongest levels against the euro in 20 months.
"The move is driven by rising market expectations for European Central Bank quantitative easing, accentuated by safe haven flows on the back of the rising geopolitical tensions in the Ukraine," said Thomas Kressin, currencies portfolio manager at Pacific Investment Management Co., which has $2 trillion in assets under management.
A euro is now worth 1.2049 Swiss francs, trading very close to the 1.20 level at which the Swiss National Bank has committed to intervene to prevent further appreciation in the currency. Analysts said the SNB could intervene directly in the market if the Swiss currency continues to strengthen.
"There is increased speculation on whether the Swiss National Bank will intervene or if it could take other measures at its September meeting [on Sept. 18] to fight low inflation," said Hans Redeker, a currency strategist at Morgan Stanley.
Javier Corominas, head of research at Record Currency Management said he expects the SNB to start intervening if the franc approaches 1.204 or 1.203. "The SNB is still resolute in its defence of the peg," he said.
The Zurich-based central bank introduced the minimum exchange rate in September 2011 amid warnings from exporters that the currency's strength was damaging the economy. The SNB hasn't been intervening to defend the currency since late 2012 but reiterated its commitment to the floor in June, saying that it "will continue to enforce the minimum exchange rate with the utmost determination."
The euro's weakening against all major currencies, which was triggered by rising expectations that the ECB will take additional measures should long-term inflation expectations fall further, is adding to the pressure on the exchange rate.
"With the Fed [U.S. Federal Reserve] and the ECB taking different paths, the euro will probably weaken further, which may force the SNB to intervene again, which they are ready to do," said Julien Manceaux, an economist at ING.
The extent of the intervention is harder to determine, he added.
"In theory, it is, of course, unlimited, but I am not sure that [another] round of intervention would be a sustainable option for the SNB balance sheet. At least it would become politically tricky," Mr. Manceaux said.
If the pressure keeps rising on the euro side, the bank will probably have to turn to other unconventional instruments, he added.
The introduction of negative interest rates, such as the one introduced by the ECB, could be one of the options in the SNB's toolbox.
The Citigroup strategist, Mr. Marinov, argues that the central bank may opt to push rates into negative territory.
"This would be consistent with indications by President [Thomas] Jordan that the bank would respond in kind to negative deposit rates in the euro zone last December," Mr. Marinov said. The policy would have a particularly strong impact in Switzerland given the sizable amount of bank deposits held with the SNB.
"Negative rates could help the SNB trigger more sustained depreciation of the franc and contain the property bubble," he said.

Trivia: When Vanessa is about to go outside to shoot arrows with Eve, Mike (Tim Allen) tells her to aim low so she doesn't shoot over the fence or she'll hit the "weird dude always giving me advice." He then covers his mouth with his hand. A reference to Wilson on Tim Allen's show "Home Improvement" and how the fence always covered the lower half of his face.

Trivia: Ed states that everyone has to do what they did last year during the Broncos/Chargers game since the Broncos won that game and then ended up winning the Super Bowl. In this episode, which aired before the actual 2016 Broncos home game against the Chargers, it's implied the Broncos won (and a good sign they'll win the Super Bowl again.) The Broncos did beat the Chargers at home, however, they failed to make the playoffs.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A Maryland lawmaker says the Penn State abuse scandal is prompting a review of state reporting requirements.
State Sen. Nancy Jacobs of Harford County says Maryland law does not have criminal penalties for failing to report child abuse. Maryland and Virginia have mandatory reporting requirements punishable by fines for failing to report abuse. Jacobs told Washington radio station WTOP that lawmakers are looking into criminal penalties on the books in other states.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett says lawmakers in his state are also proposing changes.
A grand jury report says a Penn State coach molested boys as young as 10. That led to the ouster last week of coach Joe Paterno and the university's president amid questions about whether they did enough to stop or report the abuse.

The ShantyEdit
I'll tell you a tale of Vampirates,
A tale as old as true.
Yea, I'll sing you a song of an ancient ship,
And its mighty fearsome crew.
Yea, I'll sing you a song of an ancient ship,
That sails the oceans blue...
That haunts the oceans blue.
The Vampirate ship has tattered sails,
That flap like wings in flight.
They say the captain, he wears a veil
So as to curtail your fright.
At his death pale skin
And his lifeless eyes
And his teeth as sharp as night.
Oh, they say the captain, he wears a veil
And his eyes never see the light
You'd better be good, child- good as gold,
As good as good can be.
Else I'll turn you in to the Vampirates
And wave you out to sea.
Yes, you'd better be good child- good as gold,
Because- look! Can you see?
There's a dark ship in the harbor tonight
And there's room in the hold for thee!
(Plenty of room for thee)
Well, if pirates are bad,
And vampires are worse
Then I pray that as long as I be
That though I sing of Vampirates
I never one, shall I see
Yea, if pirates are danger
And vampires are death
I'll extend my prayer for thee-
That thine eyes never see a Vampirate......and they never lay a hand on thee.

Wake Forest wins thriller against UNC, 28-27
Wake Forest wins thriller against UNC, 28-27
Tanner Price scored on a 1-yard sneak with 2:09 left to help Wake Forest rally past North Carolina 28-27 on Saturday in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams.
Price threw for a career-high 327 yards for the Demon Deacons (2-0, 1-0), who struggled to generate much offense throughout the second half until the decisive drive.
Starting from Wake Forest's 7-yard line, Price calmly directed an 11-play, 93-yard scoring drive that ended when he pushed his way through the right side of the line for the go-ahead score.
Bryn Renner had two final chances to bring back the Tar Heels (1-1, 0-1), but he threw a fourth-down interception with 1:25 left that let the Demon Deacons melt most of the clock.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
On Christmas Day 1997, mine was one of a few dozen cars on the Atlanta highway that morning, driving not to a relative's house or a friend's party, but to work.
At the Associated Press, holidays were work days for young reporters and I was on my way to that day's assignment—stalking the grave site of JonBenét Ramsey.
Beautiful and angelic, Ramsey was only six years old when she was found slain in the basement of her parent's Boulder, Colo. home one year earlier. We had all read and watched in horror at the tragedy that had taken away this innocent child and the curious details about her life that would slowly emerge afterward. Her dolled-up, delicate face — a fixture in child beauty pageants – was on the news almost nightly.
At the time, it seemed very far away. Perhaps, from afar, we all process these things similarly. You don't know the child or the family, your heart aches for them, you question, you make judgments and you move on with your life.
Then, the Ramseys moved to Georgia.
Leaving their Colorado home behind, John and Patricia (Patsy) Ramsey moved back to the suburbs of Atlanta, where JonBenét was born, and buried their daughter in the St. James Episcopal Cemetery in Marietta, Ga.
For the Ramseys, perhaps the move was an effort to flee the media chaos and find peace. Little did I know then, that our destinies would be linked.
I worked in the Atlanta office of the AP news bureau—my third assignment with the prestigious wire service, after graduating from college a few years earlier.
The venerable AP provides news stories and content to media outlets all over the world, giving them access to events which they normally wouldn't have the resources to cover. The job meant long hours and high stress during times of breaking news, but also the chance of a lifetime to cover national stories and be part of the world's pulse.
An aspiring writer didn't say "no" to working for the AP, I was repeatedly told by my journalism professors and mentors.
After I graduated, I was given a shot as a temporary staffer in Phoenix, where I spent five months; then Minneapolis, another five months, before proving to my bosses that I was capable of handling a full-time assignment with the news service.
Now in Atlanta, this was the story to chase.
In the AP newsroom, our crew of reporters, some just a few years out of college like me, took turns night and day, either standing watch outside the Ramseys' new home or at JonBenét's grave, with the hope that the parents would speak, that something would emerge to solve this horrifying death.
Then, Christmas Day arrived and the one-year anniversary of the girl's unsolved murder demanded a media story. It was my turn to stand vigil.
So, on a sacred Christian holiday, I was holed up in a car with an AP photographer, outside the graveyard, waiting to see if JonBenét's family would show up. The photographer was chatting with an older, decidedly weathered guy — a paparazzi who kept talking about the "thrill of the hunt" that morning, waiting to catch the "money shot" of the mournful family.
As I stared ahead, I felt sick. It hit me with turbulent force that I shouldn't be there.
I can't do this, I thought. I don't want to do this.
As I stared blankly at the empty, sun-strewn graveyard, I silently prayed that the family would not show up. I knew I wouldn't have the guts to approach them. I mean, I was only 25. What did I know anyway?
How they would look at me, loathing in their eyes, wondering how someone could be so callous as to question them on top of the grave that held their little girl. What was wrong with me?
As a reporter, this is what you do. You take your feelings out of it. You tell the story. It's the very heart of the profession. This was paralyzing weakness, and for me, it was just too much to bear.
I knew, at that moment, that I would never be a great hard news reporter. I didn't want the hunt and I didn't want the scoop. I just wanted to leave these people — these parents —alone.
I wanted to quit my very first job out of college — the first stop on my career path. It all felt like such monumental failure. I could already see my professors shaking their heads. Pathetic.
The Ramsey family never showed up at the cemetery while I was there. Years later, Patsy would succumb to ovarian cancer and JonBenét's murder continues to be a cold case mystery, even after all this time. Yet, that day was a touchstone in my life, one that plays over and over in my subconscious.
It wasn't long after that winter morning that I left my job at the AP—a move I can only imagine looked like career suicide to my fellow reporters.
With no plan, I gave up that glamorous job and moved back home to Arizona, where I started a new chapter, taking a temporary job as an administrative assistant. It was just a job at the time, but I wanted, needed, to be far, far away from that tragedy-driven, 24-7 news cycle.
The often soul-killing events that reporters face to tell the world a story and document its importance for the infinite record require a mental strength that, I realized that morning at the cemetery, I didn't have. I wasn't strong enough.
Today, I am a freelance writer and a mother of two. I have found my love of writing again and continue to work on it every day, just for myself.
I've watched some of my AP colleagues from Atlanta go on to have very successful careers, and deservedly so. I truly respect and admire them, as well as all the lessons I learned at that bustling news bureau.
I'm proud that I had the guts to walk away, knowing that it wasn't a perfect fit. I do hope to publish meaningful work someday, but until then, I just keep on writing and prefer to watch the breaking news instead of cover it.

Hello, kind people!
It gives me great pleasure to announce that a brand new music video, shot in the picturesque centre of Tartu, has been aired on Estonian national TV! The video was directed by Asko-Romé Altsoo, the music performed by L.R.Phoenix & Andres Roots, and the song is "Death Letter" by the great Son House, with a bit of Willie Brown's "Future Blues" thrown in for good measure. To watch the video, click on the link below and then on the song title; by marking the song and clicking "hääleta", you can also vote for the tune to enter the Eesti Top7 video chart - and you can vote several times a day every day! If enough people do this, we might even get Son House to top a pop chart in the 21st century

Thank you very much!

Scientists, researchers, academics and concerned citizens filled a room at the Nova Scotia Art Gallery on Nov. 13 to discuss what they describe as a growing science policy crisis in Canada.
Sponsored by the Canadian Association of University Teachers, the "Get Science Right" Halifax town hall was one of several taking place nationwide.
Panellists for the Halifax event addressed questions from moderator Jordi Morgan and from members of the public there to learn more about how scientific work in Canada is being affected by federal government policies and how it impacts Canadians.
"We've seen dramatic cutbacks to science-based departments in the government, so departments like Environment Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and we have seen similar kinds of cutbacks to university-based research as well," said panellist Tom Duck, a leading physicist and atmosphere scientist at Dalhousie University.
"There has been a change of environmental legislation and regulations such as the gutting of the fishery act, and these are science-based pieces of legislation. And finally there is the very troubling aspect of the muzzling of government scientists. I don't think any one of those issues takes the lead over any other. They are all very important."
The two-hour discussion touched on all those topics, in addition to issues of communication between scientists, journalists and members of the general public.
"One of the things that concerns me is just the degree or lack of understanding on the part of the public about what's going on," said panellist Ian Stewart, director of the History of Science and Technology Programme at the University of King's College.
"This is a direct betrayal of the public trust in the government, which on our behalf uses our money to direct and to encourage and to support and to facilitate the work of the intelligentsia of our country... to carry out science in the public interest."
The need for better educated high school science teachers and more outreach from university faculty and graduate students to engage youth were also ideas brought forward for discussion from people who attended the meeting.
Panellist James Drummond, Canada Research Chair in Remote Sounding of Atmospheres at Dalhousie University addressed the issue of declining scientific research funding.
He said although they once had a fairly large pool of available funding options to turn to, those have "almost been systematically shut down" by the federal government.
Drummond also stressed that while there's nothing wrong with research for commercial purposes, it becomes a problem when that's the only kind of research you do.
Ford Doolittle, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Dalhousie University, addressed the panel from the floor and echoed that view.
He was dismayed that the prevailing public opinion seems to be that science should only be undertaken if a new iPhone or other product will result.
"The reason I do science is to find out about the universe, to understand, to know. It's a noble human goal," Doolittle said. "In a way we've sold the public on the view that the only reason to do science in the long run is to bolster the economy."
Panellist Catherine Conrad, professor of geography at Saint Mary's University, was one of the evening's final speakers.
"We have a government right now that does not value science and science based, informed decision making. That's a point that I personally would like to leave on," she said.
"The onus needs to go back on our federal government... Decisions are being made in this country based on poor or no information. These are uninformed decisions that are going to not only harm us but harm our children and our grandchildren perhaps irrevocably."
When Duck was asked to wrap up the meeting, he shook his head at the gravity of the task. He told the crowd it would be regretful if the discussion ended, and offered his email address to anyone who wanted to continue the dialogue.
"There are a tremendous number of different issues that got put on the table here tonight and they are all tied together somehow. We have these devastating cuts to science, whether it be in the government or in universities, and we clearly have some type of communications problem," Duck said.
"Should we be doing a better job at communicating at the universities? Probably the media needs to do a better job. We have a public education problem. My head is literally spinning."

Biloxi Wedding Photography | Biloxi Wedding Photographers
Happy December 1st everyone!!! I found this article the other day and with wedding season right around the corner I thought I would share it with you all-- If you are a bride-to-be, definitely keep these things in mind, or if you are a photographer, I'm sure you can relate! Happy reading =]
The article was posted on Brides.com {{ http://www.brides.com/blogs/aisle-say/2014/11/things-that-annoy-wedding-photographers.html }} it discusses some wedding photographer "pet peeves" and I must say I agree with the listed items! Here it is:
Your wedding photographer is there to capture your special day and would literally jump through hoops to recreate the Pinterest shot of your dreams. But combine unrealistic expectations with a lack of insider knowledge and both bride and vendor alike can be left with a sour taste in their mouth post-wedding. Considering how important big-day shots are to a couple, we reached out to professional wedding photographers to get the lowdown on what annoys them.
1. "Not getting all the information ahead of time. For example, if you know that your mom and your step-mom can barely be in the same room together, your photographer needs to know this as well. We're not trying to pry, but if you don't let us in on what's happening with your VIP guests, we may ask people to stand next to each other that don't get along. Awkward." — Kristin Griffin
2. "When guests raise their smartphones or tablets in the air to snap photos, it literally ruins the moment. It's disheartening to see that beautiful ceremony turn into a concert hall. It's completely dependent on the bride and groom whether or not they are bothered by this peeve, but I always advise my brides to be aware that it will disrupt the serenity of the photos they're depending on me to take for them. You can't really stop this frantic behavior or control people's urges to provide their own wedding coverage, but it wouldn't hurt to have the officiant of your ceremony make an announcement. You might want to include your request in the program too." — Christian Oth
See More: How to Get Wedding Photos You'll Love
3. "Small and dark getting ready rooms. When selecting a space where you will get dressed on your wedding day remember that many of your photos will be taken there, from the detail shots of your dress, shoes and invitations to putting on the gown and your bridal portraits. Find a space that reflects the feel of your wedding day with lots of light and room for great photos." — KT Merry
4. "Sending a list of dozens of shots you want done in between your ceremony and reception, but not allowing enough time for them to be taken. Establish a realistic timeline, and work with your photographer, planner and/or venue professional to come up with the best schedule." — Michelle Balducci-Connelly
5. "A lack of trust. By no means are we against a bride and groom showing us photo ideas that they like, at some point though there is a line crossed when a couple can become so focused on reproducing images from another wedding that it hinders creating their own unique images and telling their personal story. The best photos are always the ones where people are relaxed and real. A professional photographer should not only be good at using a camera and light, but leading their subjects into a since of rest and relaxation allowing for those real images." — Billy Hyer

This is what's been going on lately:
- I made one of these: http://about.me/adelamorales
- I declared on myself a baking challenge for when I move to Florida. (Details tomorrow)
- I discovered how adorable Pembroke Welsh Corgis are.
- I have a wedding to go to this Saturday for a co-worker.
Yes, that wedding is THIS Saturday, and my dress is yet to arrive. Not only that, but between now and then I need to cut my hair, buy shoes, and do my nails. It's so tough being me I'll have you know.

We recently finished our 6-week series through the book of James, and I think it's worth noting how James ends his letter because he ends the discussion on making faith work by talking to us about what I call "the Persistence Factor."
James 5:7-8 (NIV)…
7Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming.
And then, in order to unpack this idea a little further, James paints the following picture:
See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near.
"You too, be patient and stand firm…" James essentially says, "In order to really make your faith work and reap the benefit, you've got to understand the importance of being patient and the Persistence Factor. You've got to get good at developing the skill of patiently waiting and standing firm."
This means we need to learn to see and recognize (much like a farmer planting seeds) that this doesn't happen overnight. No farmer plants seed, comes back the next day to find nothing, and then concludes, "I don't see anything. Guess this stuff doesn't work." And yet this is exactly how many of us respond when we don't see the seeds of our faith producing what we had hoped for.
The farmer and all those who would embrace the Persistence Factor understand there's a process involved–You've got to water the seed. Cultivate it. Keep the weeds out. Give it time to grow. And even before that, the soil needs to be prepared. There's always a process involved.
This is so important because everyone of us have moments along the way where it seems like this faith thing doesn't work. It just doesn't happen. We had a dream that died, a prayer that didn't get answered, a promise that didn't come to pass.
And if we don't understand the process and the Persistence Factor involved we'll get discouraged and disillusioned. You'll talk yourself out of God's Word for your life and tell yourself, "This faith thing doesn't work."
Nothing could be further from the truth. You've just forgotten the process involved.
The Bible says in Eccl 3:1 (NCV)…
There is a time for everything, and everything on earth has its special season.
Did you know that every season in your life is valuable? God doesn't waste any of it. There are at least four seasons of the process we all experience. More than likely you are in one of these seasons right now.
The first one is the DREAM.
That's when a seed of faith is first planted. God gives you a dream for your marriage or family, a dream to see your friend come to Christ, or maybe to see someone healed. Or you have a vision for your future–to be out of debt, free from an addiction, or to start a new career.
And you're pumped! This is always the most exciting part of the process. The dream is fresh and alive and new. You're excited and you can hardly keep from telling everybody about it.
But inevitably, every Dream moves into the second season of the process: DELAY.
This one's a little tougher.
The Dream, the Word from God, begins to be tested in your life because you're not seeing any movement towards it. In fact, many times it feels like your'e going in the exact opposite direction!
The person you're praying for gets worse…
Your friend you've been inviting to church doesn't want anything to do with God…
Your child whom you've been trying to mend the relationship with won't talk to you…
You want to be financially free and you've started tithing. Then the AC in your car goes out!
Does any of this sound familiar? It always seems to happen that way, doesn't it? Doubt can make your Dream fragile. The enemy comes to steal the seed of faith from you before it ever has a chance. It's in this season where it becomes much more difficult to maintain your focus, and a lot of people give up.
But if you hang in there and press through you get to make it to the next season of the process: DEATH
That's right, the dream actually dies. The vision you had doesn't happen the way you saw it happening. You start to wonder if God ever spoke to you at all or if you're just delusional.
It's Abraham when he's 100 and still doesn't have any kids. It's Joseph wasting away in a prison, wrongly accused and forgotten rather than being in a position of influence. It's David running for his life from Saul, hiding in caves like a fugitive instead of being king. It's Jesus crucified on a Roman cross and lying in a tomb when the disciples were expecting Him to rescue God's people.
They all experienced a death in the process. A season where the dream was dead. Hopeless. It seemed impossible and foolish to have ever thought it could happen. And the tragedy is this: Very few people ever make it to the other side of this.
So many good people die with their dream. What do I mean by that?
They become angry with God. They get bitter. Cynical. Jaded. Jealous of the success of others. They quit dreaming. They quit believing. They still love God, but their faith grows cold. They may even go to church and manage to manufacture the motions, but for all intensive purposes they're dead on the inside.
But here's the thing about a seed and the way our faith journey works–What you think is dead has only been planted. The potential within the seed can never be released without it being buried, lying dormant, and experiencing a death. It's an absolute essential part of the process.
Jesus said it best in John 12:24 (NIV)
…unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
This is why you can never allow yourself to stay discouraged or to quit. It's an essential part of the process, and when you're in this season you're closer than you've ever been before to the final part of the process…DESTINY.
Now, here's the amazing truth I'm learning about Kingdom Dreams as they relate to our Destiny: Kingdom Dreams are always seeds. In other words, and this is big so don't miss this, the Dream you begin with only represents your Destiny in seed-form.
This is why when we step into our Destiny it never looks like what we thought it would look like when we launched out with our Dream. That can often be confusing until we realize that the reason our Destiny doesn't look much like our Dream is that our Destiny is always so much more.
That's the way seeds work, isn't it? Just as a magnificent oak tree bears little to no resemblance of it's former acorn-life so your Destiny in God will far surpass the seed that is your God-Dream.
And now you know why Ephesians 3:20 says…
Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
If where you are looks nothing like the Dream you started with, don't be discouraged and don't you dare give up…It's not supposed to. The fact is your wildest Kingdom-Dream will never come close to your actual Destiny. It's just a seed.
Be patient. Stand firm.

Congaree in tough
ARCADIA, Calif. - Saturday's $150,000 San Pasqual Handicap at Santa Anita attracted a field befitting a race that leads to the $1 million Santa Anita Handicap on March 1.
Of the 11 entrants, several appear win candidates, but the most logical is Congaree, the flashy winner of the Cigar Mile Handicap at Aqueduct Nov. 30. Congaree, third in the 2001 Kentucky Derby, will not have a free pass in the San Pasqual Handicap, run at 1 1/16 miles. He will likely have to catch Hot Market, who can carry his speed over the San Pasqual distance.
Likely to be trailing Congaree early will be such proven late runners as Kudos, the winner of the Oaklawn Handicap last April; Freedom Crest, the 2001 San Pasqual Handicap winner; and Piensa Sonando, Fleetstreet Dancer and Nose the Trade, the first three finishers in the Native Diver Handicap at Hollywood Park last month.
Giving the San Pasqual depth are Cottage, winner of three consecutive allowance races; Euchre, a handicap star in 2001; and Kela and Mercenary, both of whom were stakes-placed last year.
Congaree is the 121-pound topweight and likely favorite. Jerry Bailey will travel from Florida for the mount. He was aboard Congaree when he won the Cigar Mile by 5 1/2 lengths, racing close to the pace throughout.
The same tactics may not work in the San Pasqual. Hot Market is almost certain to be on the lead, and could set quick fractions. A rapid pace could help the closers and hurt the chances of Congaree and Hot Market.
The pace doesn't concern Bob Baffert, who trains Congaree.
"I don't worry about the 'Congo,'" Baffert said. "He's had plenty of time since his last race. He will be up closer. It depends on how he breaks."
Piensa Sonando could get an ideal trip rallying from the rear of the pack. In the Native Diver, the Chilean import closed from sixth through traffic under Laffit Pincay Jr. to beat Fleetstreet Dancer by a head.
"Laffit rode an amazing race, one of the best races I've seen him ride in a long time," Ron McAnally, trainer of Piensa Sonando, said.
Like Piensa Sonando, Kudos could make a late charge. He returns to racing following surgery to remove a bone chip from an ankle.
"I expect him to run well," trainer Richard Mandella said. "I'm hoping to get him on the handicap trail. You can look at his works and see I haven't drilled him. But he likes to finish and could run out of his mind."

SLC2A9 encodes a member of the SLC2A facilitative glucose transporter family. Additionally we are shipping SLC2A9 Antibodies (78) and and many more products for this protein.
Showing 1 out of 1 products:
Combined exposure to the four high-risk genotypes of ALPK1 and the uric-acid-related loci of ABCG2, SLC2A9, and SLC22A12 was associated with an increased gout risk and a high PPV for gout.
This study demonstrated that reduced glucose transporter-1 (show SLC2A1 ELISA Kits) in brain derived circulating endothelial cells in mild Alzheimer's disease patients.
Immunoreactivity of GLUT9 was observed on the apical side of the cytoplasm of epithelial cells in the choroid plexus and in the cilia of ependymal cells of the human brain.
genetic association studies in population in China: Data suggest that SNPs in SLC2A9 (rs11722228, rs3775948) and ABCG2 (rs2231142) are associated with diabetic kidney disease in subjects with type 2 diabetes in the population studied. (SLC2A9 = solute carrier family 2 member 9; ABCG2 = ATP binding cassette subfamily G (show CYP ELISA Kits) member 2)
This meta-analysis shows that the rs12510549, rs16890979, and rs1014290 polymorphisms of SLC2A9 protect against the development of gout in Caucasians and/or Asians.
The results of the study confirmed the presence of GLUT-1 (show SLC2A1 ELISA Kits), GLUT-4 (show SLC2A4 ELISA Kits) and GLUT-9 proteins in the trophoblast from both, uncomplicated and diabetic pregnancies. In addition, insulin (show INS ELISA Kits) therapy may increase placental expression of GLUT-4 (show SLC2A4 ELISA Kits) and GLUT-9, and partially GLUT-1 (show SLC2A1 ELISA Kits), in women with pregestational and gestational diabetes mellitus.
Meta-analysis. This study demonstrated that the genetic susceptibility for gout is associated with the SLC2A9 gene polymorphisms. Four of them except for the rs3733591 are protective SNPs in Caucasians, and rs16890979 and rs1014290 are protective SNPs in both Caucasians and Asians, while rs3733591 may be susceptibility SNP in Asians.
Each A-allele of the SLC2A9 rs7442295 was associated with 9% higher plasma urate and hazard ratios of 1.07 (1.01-1.14) for cancer incidence and 1.07 (1.02-1.13) for all-cause mortality.
The present proof-of-principle paper demonstrates that the multilocus profiles of ABCG2, SLC2A9 and SLC22A12 (show SLC22A12 ELISA Kits) increase susceptibility to asymptomatic hyperuricaemia, gout and tophi.
Immunostaining and highly-sensitive in situ hybridization was used to assess the distribution of UA transporters: GLUT9/URATv1, ABCG2, and URAT1 (show SLC22A12 ELISA Kits). Immunostaining for GLUT9 was observed in ependymal cells, neurons, and brain capillaries. Immunostaining for ABCG2 was observed in the choroid plexus epithelium and brain capillaries, but not in ependymal cells. These results were validated by in situ hybridization.
intestinal uric acid transporter SLC2A9 has a role in early-onset metabolic syndrome in a mouse model
blocking GLUT9 expression during preimplantation development (show MTA2 ELISA Kits) had no effect on glucose transport or apoptosis but transfer of these embryos resulted in increased pregnancy loss, suggesting that GLUT9 is critical for early preimplantation development (show MTA2 ELISA Kits).
Characterize in more detail the transport properties of mouse GLUT9 and provide evidence that it functions as a urate uniporter.
Glut9 is a major regulator of urate homeostasis and its genetic inactivation induces hyperuricosuria and urate nephropathy.
This gene encodes a member of the SLC2A facilitative glucose transporter family. Members of this family play a significant role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. The encoded protein may play a role in the development and survival of chondrocytes in cartilage matrices. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

GUEST OPINION: Strong transportation in Fall River a prescription for good health
March 23, 2013
by David S. Weed, Psy.D., is executive director of Greater Fall River Partners for a Healthier Community, Inc.
Herald News
Fundamentally, transportation is about access to jobs and housing, economic competitiveness, convenience and quality of life, and our environment. We know we need a good transportation system, one that encourages economic development, makes our lives easier and better, and does not harm the environment. This is as true about Fall River as it is about any community.
Transportation is also about our health. Research shows again and again that people who take public transit — in our case SRTA buses — walk many times further each day than those using cars. On average, those walking from home, school or work to the bus stop come close to achieving the 22 minutes per day of moderate physical activity recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

GBT Latest Pics
"I think what GBT does for the South African youth is incredible and selfless."
"GBT's profound conviction drives them to deliver the sensational results they have: where vulnerable youth become active and inspirational participants in South African society. They're able to teach us a thing or two about getting over ourselves."
"The support, which we have afforded to GBT is sincerely aimed at helping to close the gap between our family and GBT's, even if it is to the tiniest extent. With it, goes a kind of remote love, which is difficult to understand. Please keep up the excellent work that you do – it is so pleasing to read how much it is appreciated, not only as recorded by your 2015 Mayor, but also by many of us on the 'outside'."
"We ourselves have teenage children, so we know first-hand how difficult this stage of their lives is. They are fortunate to have family support and encouragement, so we understand the importance of organizations such as yourselves to fill the gap that their family members are not able to provide."
"Thank you for everything you do in the community for the children"
"We have been supporting this charity since my children were small and the youngest is now 34. It gives me much pleasure to support from another of our companies."
"We have got to know a young man in Knysna who passed through your 'town' and he is today a wonderfully successful man thanks to your guidance."

For the past 30 years Raman spectroscopy has been widely used for numerous chemical research applications. Now, the new Timegated® Raman technology broadens the application range of Raman to biosciences, geosciences and many others where the fluorescence emission has hindered successful Raman analyses.
The Achilles' heel of conventional Raman technology is photoluminescence (including fluorescence, phosphorescence etc.). Photoluminescence is a competing phenomenon with Raman scattering and it can overlap the whole Raman signal in the measured spectra making the identification or quantification of materials impossible.
With the new Timegated® technology, we can now achieve Real Fluorescence Rejection.
How do we do this?
The sub-nanosecond (100 ps) laser excitation source and a time-gated single photon counting array detector create a totally new type of spectrometer able to acquire Raman spectra with real fluorescence rejection. The system rejects the (delayed) fluorescence while capturing the instantaneous Raman scattering signal. It also enables the acquisition of time-resolved fluorescence spectra by sequentially sampling the emission pulses at different temporal positions. This approach simultaneously opens up two windows for material characterization and provides valuable new information in several different application fields.
Apart from molecular structure information from Raman spectra, Timegated® technology can be used for time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy applications to monitor molecular interactions and motions that occur in the picosecond-nanosecond range.
Figure 1. Time-resolved emission spectrum of an olive oil measured with a Timegated® device. The temporally short and spectrally multi-peaked Raman signal is clearly seen over the temporally and spectrally broad photoluminescence spectrum. In this figure, the origin of the Time axis has no fundamental physical significance (the values are actually just the settings of the electronic delay generator).
